Really Random Tuesday #63: Book Winner, Blogiversary, and a New Giveaway

Am I having déjà vu? Please help me to congratulate petite! Petite is the lucky winner of Last Train to Omaha by Ann Whitely-Gillen. Congratulations, petite! Last month, I featured a guest post about writing by Ann Whitely-Gillen, and I hope to read her novel within the next few months. (Petite won a different book here a few months ago.)

Many other giveaways are listed on the right side of my blog, so please take a look before you "click away" from here. Additionally, I have a wonderful new giveaway at the end of this post, to show my appreciation for my readers, and to help celebrate my blogiversary.

5 years! Can you believe it? I started this book blog in May of 2008. Time flies when you're blogging about books!

*******************

On International
Women's Day, March 8, I posted my review of No Ocean Here, a new collection of poems by SwetaSrivastavaVikram, part of the World Voices
series. Recently, No Ocean Here ranked #6 for
Asian-American poetry for Kindle sales. One of the poems in this powerful book, Auto Immune
Deficiency Syndrome, is featured in an
AIDS awareness film, The Dawn. And India-based Bell Bajao, a cultural and media
campaign that calls on men and boys to take a stand against domestic violence, published the same poem as part of Violence
Against Women Awareness Month. Award-winning writer Sweta Srivastava Vikram and Modern History Press are generously offering an international giveaway for two copies of No Ocean Here (US/Canada/UK: print copy or ebook; other countries: ebook).

To enter this giveaway, simply leave a comment.

For another chance at winning, become a follower of this blog, or let me know that you're already a follower.

For an additional chance, post about this giveaway on your blog, Facebook, Pinterest, or Twitter.

Enter by 5 PM PDT on Monday, May 27. One winner will be selected
randomly and announced on Tuesday, May 28. Good luck!
